Dartmoor Full Circle 100
The Dartmoor 100, called The Full Circle, is a 100 mile continuous race that completes the first official circumnavigation of Dartmoor. The route follows the waymarked Dartmoor Way walking route and skirts the periphery of both the northern and southern sections of the moor. The course passes wild and ancient tracks, known landmarks, moorland villages, woodland and riverside trails, green lanes and quiet country lanes.
Competitors must visit six indoor checkpoints located in village or church halls where hot food and drink are provided. The event is non-stop and has a maximum time limit of 34 hours. There is over 4000 m of ascent on sometimes rocky, tussocky and boggy Dartmoor terrain, and a night section is included. Weather in late autumn can be cold, wet or snowy. Competitors are required to carry compulsory race kit and are monitored using GPS tracking devices for safety. The event base is Pavilion in the Park, Mill Road, Okehampton, Devon EX20 1GE.
Entry is restricted to runners aged 21 or older and the 100 mile entry requires a minimum prior finish of 50 miles within the specified qualification period. Finishers receive a bespoke medal and there are trophies and age category prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
